Parliament deadlock? Who is responsible?

Who is responsible for the deadlock in the Parliament? Government or Opposition Parties?

[For the first time in Independent India, a session of Parliament went without a single sitting. The reason is all the opp parties jointly asks for JPC to probe the issues in 2G spectrum scam, for this UPA Govt opposes]

Chandru:

NDA (BJP and its allies)

Manikandan:

It’s all the mistakes of citizens.

Me:

It’s UPA Govt. What is there in JPC? The previous JPC have clearly revealed that nothing it can do. Then why Union Govt is opposing for this is a big “?” Totally people’s money wasted.

Some of the comments in THE HINDU newspaper:

• People and media should see through the UPA government’s new campaign that the winter session was lost due to the Opposition. In a democracy, it is the Opposition’s prerogative to protest. This time, the protest cut across party lines as the issue involved massive corruption. If the government is indeed transparent, it should have accepted the Opposition’s demand for a JPC probe.

• Never perhaps in the history of Indian democracy has an entire session of Parliament concluded without any business. The opposition was justified in demanding a JPC probe. The UPA government’s adamant “no” only strengthens the belief that it has something to fear and hide.

• Following the washout of the three-week winter session of the Parliament, the blame game b/w UPA government and the Opposition has started. The Congress, which claims that its government is transparent and has nothing to hide, should tell us why it is shying from constituting a JPC to probe the 2G spectrum scam.

• The question on every common man‘s mind is: Why is the government afraid of constituting JPC? The more reluctance it shows, the more we believe it has something it does not want the Opposition to know.

• Anyone with the elementary knowledge of the Constitution knows that the PAC is no substitute for a JPC, which has wide powers of investigation and can summon anyone including the PM (if necessary). It is obvious that there is an attempt to protect some people.

• It is not the Opposition but the UPA government that has denigrated the institution of Prime Minister. It was his own Minister who ignored his objections and those of other Ministers on the spectrum allocation. The government should accept the demand for JPC probe and prove its claim of clean governance.

• It is surprising that the Prime Minister, the head of the government, was unable to prevent the former Telecom Minister from running a freelance spectrum allocation policy. There is no justification of blaming the Opposition for blaming the huge money involved in the scam.
